"...Oppression is the mask of fear."

The thing about the sudden loss of freedom of speech after a pretty decent 250-year run is that I still don't think there is any logical justification for not releasing files that expose the depravity of pedophiles. #epsteinfiles #freedomofspeech #nokings

Throwing a sandwich at a cop: felony. Beating a cop unconscious with a flag pole: tourist behavior.

We said release the files not the accomplices, idiot.

It is a very sad year to be celebrating 250 years of "freedom." I am thankful for the beauty and peace of nature today. #bloomscrolling

So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to “crap, this was not the interview I prepped!” but the result was memorable.)

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." - President Lyndon B. Johnson

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

We’re going to annex Canada and invade Greenland but we can’t request return of an innocent man from El Salvador.

Hi folks: Facebook appears to be taking down my posts. Please remember they are available for free here (no paywall), and can be received by email (also free-- just don't put in your credit card information). I guess if I'm being banned I'm doing something right?

Idk who needs to hear this, but just because something is written in ALL CAPS? Doesn't mean it's true. 🙄 iykyk

Around 35% of SpaceX’s revenue comes directly from the federal govt. Less than 1% of NPR’s budget comes from the federal govt.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

this is what we should be doing

It is very difficult to get work done with the cacophony of an apocalyptic breakdown of society going on in the background.

REPEAT AFTER ME: NOBODY VOTED FOR ELON MUSK PASS IT ON.

Good messaging

I remember watching Star Wars as a kid and asking myself, who would voluntarily join the dark side? I understood Darth Vader's motivation, but not the stormtrooper's.

Sea flowers. Doing their sea thing. #bloomscrolling #nature

Complete fog cover today. Can't see the horizon. Seems appropriate. #nature #sea #fog

MORE OF THIS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

Well played, President Claudia Sheinbaum, for committing troops already at the border since 2021, knowing perfectly well President Man Baby would have no idea and take it as a win.

Now what does Canada have to pretend to do so Trump can declare victory?

You are MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. If they threaten you with arrest for trying to access a site you are lawfully entitled to access, YOU MAKE THEM FUCKING ARREST YOU. YOU MAKE THEM SLAP THE CUFFS ON A CONGRESSMAN LIVE ON TV, YOU MAKE THEM FUCKING DO IT.

If you don't want to be accused of racism, don't vote for a fucking racist, this isn't exactly rocket science my dudes thehill.com/homenews/cam...

This beauty outside my window. A momentary insulation of the maelstrom of humanity this week. #birds #nature #goodstuff

Seems bad, yes.

yyyyyeah maybe we shouldn’t just “relax”

Here are some beautiful flowers in my garden that brightened my spirit this morning. #bloomscrolling

This comments section is the first time I've felt even a shred of hope in eight days.

If you wanted to know how an autocracy would start in America, it begins by releasing violent thugs from prison who beat up police defending Congress, illegally firing every Inspector General, and seizing billions appropriated by Congress for people with no authority to do so.

I'll reiterate that I don't think the various trolls/bots/chuds here understand how comprehensive the Bluesky block function is here. It's so good that it actually encourages "don't engage, just block": nothing's left over after the block happens so there's no point engaging at all. Just brilliant.

Of course ending birthright citizenship is blatantly unconstitutional. So is a third term in office. But I thought the same thing about presidential criminal immunity and holding office after inciting an insurrection. The obvious is not so obvious anymore.

Let them learn

Gonna say it was autism when I karate chop a Nazi.

I read a book about the diabolical use of "everyone is a spy" during the years before the Romanian revolution. It was effective at turning even family against each other. This "snitch" culture is straight out of the fascist playbook. Spoiler alert: it usually ends with the "common enemy" situation.
